Jim, Re: "My favorite was the 61-62 Chrysler Imperial with the big fins "add on" look
lights, square steering wheel and the 392cid semi hemi.
What a monster."

That sure was the Detroit way back then, wasn't it (bigger is better). In the early - mid 60's, the big three came out with some "answers" to the successful VW and early Japanese cars...the compacts. They were the Corvair, Falcon and Valiant (and some variants like the Lancer). I bought a new Valiant and liked it a lot. Detroit's answer to the early success of these compacts? Let's add eight inches to the wheelbase next year! Duh!
